  4. Outline • Introduction • ETANA-DL Canned Demonstration • Tools for Data Publication and Integration • Discussion

  5. Problems • Delay in publication of primary archaeological data • Lack of sustainable solutions to long-term preservation of valuable information • Lack of services useful to the archaeology community, including “traditional DL services” • Difficulty in understanding complex archaeological information systems • Difficulty in requirements elicitation for archaeological systems • Interoperability among heterogeneous archaeological systems

  6. Solution – our approach • Applying and extending Digital Library (DL) techniques to solve the following problems: making primary data available, data preservation, and interoperability • Modeling archaeological information systems using 5S theory to better understand the domain and design the system and the supported services • Using componentized frameworks: eliciting requirements, providing useful services

  7. ETANA-DL • Archaeological Digital Library • Applies and extends the OAI-PMH • Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting • Design considerations • Componentized • Distributed architecture • Extensible • Portable
